Expert physiotherapy for muscle and ligament injuries in Kensington.

Physiotherapy in Kensington

Muscle and ligament injuries can happen to anyone — from athletes and fitness enthusiasts to those simply going about their daily routines. These injuries can be painful and restrictive, making everyday tasks difficult. At The Physio Box in Kensington, we offer expert physiotherapy to help you recover faster, restore movement, and reduce the risk of future injuries.

Common Muscle and Ligament Injuries We Treat

Muscles and ligaments work together to support movement, flexibility, and joint stability. When they are strained or torn, proper rehabilitation is essential for full recovery. Some of the common injuries we treat include:

Muscle strains and tears

Often caused by sudden movements, overuse, or inadequate warm-ups.

Ligament sprains

Particularly common around the ankle, knee, and wrist due to twists, falls, or awkward landings.

Sports injuries

From hamstring pulls to ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries. Learn more about our sports physiotherapy services.

Muscle Spasms and Strains

Back and neck muscle spasms can result from overuse, stress, or sudden strain. These spasms can be painful and disrupt your daily routine. Our approach includes myofascial release to relieve muscle tension, electrotherapies to reduce pain, and postural re-education to prevent future strain.

Repetitive strain injuries (RSI)

Gradual overloading of muscles or ligaments, often seen in both athletes and office workers.

Post-surgical ligament rehabilitation

Including recovery after ACL reconstruction or tendon repair.
